The devotional will be available for viewing on Sunday, Sept. 11, on the Church satellite system, broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org and YouTube. All young adults ages 18-30 are invited to watch.

Messages will focus on Church history found in “Saints Volume 3: Boldly, Nobly, and Independent,” with historic and personal accounts highlighting: 

  • Continuing prophetic and personal revelation 
  • Uniting families for eternity  
  • Making and keeping temple covenants  
  • Inviting all to receive the gospel  
  • Caring for those in need 

Local leaders are encouraged to determine a viewing date and time that best serve the young adults in their area. The broadcast may be used in support of area plans and temple and family history plans.

President Russell M. Nelson and his wife, Sister Wendy W. Nelson, spoke to young adults during a worldwide devotional in May. Addressing a capacity crowd in the Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City, with thousands more watching from overflow areas on Temple Square and hundreds of thousands more watching online, the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said righteous choices in mortality will pay unimaginable dividends eternally.

He said three fundamental truths will help young adults prepare their course:

“First: Know the truth about who you are. 

“Second: Know the truth about what Heavenly Father and His Son have offered you. 

“And third: Know the truth related to your conversion.”
